Chapter 1064: A God Who Understands Mortals

Chapter 1064: A God Who Understands Mortals

Looking at the mother and daughter in their robes of High Priestess and Apprentice Priestess, Victor let out a small smile.

Valeria wore a silver robe that flowed softly down to her feet. The fabric, interspersed with luminous threads, appeared alive in any light, reflecting a spectrum of soft colors. Her cloak was adorned with Draconic Runes carved directly by Victor, each giving her additional protection. Many might say that what Victor had done was overkill again, but as the representative of his beloved followers, she needed maximum protection. The high structured collar added an aura of majesty, while the crystal diadem on her head glowed faintly with Power, the diadem helping to make her thoughts faster and more orderly.

It was like an extremely nerfed version of Victor's natural processing capabilities. After all, there was a limit to how much processing capacity the Human mind could withstand.

Vanessa wore a tunic that was similar in style but simpler. The silver of her outfit was duller, indicating her beginner status but still worthy of respect. The symbols on her cloak were less elaborate, suggesting her continued growth and learning within the religion. Just like her mother, her outfit came with plenty of protection from Draconic Runes, but not as heavy as her mother's. After all, unlike her mother, who was more exposed to danger, she would be spending more time at the main base to study.

And since the main base was above Elvenorah, a city guarded 24 hours a day by dozens of eyes and machines, this was one of the safest places, second only to Victor's personal Dimension, where his Family lived.

Victor was planning to turn Valeria and her daughter into Dragonoids, but he decided against it for now. After all, they needed to work for it.

After ending his observation of their clothes, he looked at Valeria and saw her determined expression, causing him to smile internally, satisfied.

"Are you ready to take on your duties?"

"Yes." Valeria Alekerth spoke for herself and her daughter, Vanessa.

Seeing the same expression in her daughter's eyes, Victor nodded in satisfaction, and this time, he did not hide his approval.

"I will be expecting great things from you," Victor spoke as he looked at Vanessa.

Vanessa nodded seriously, her eyes shining with determination.

He then looked at Valeria and said, "Keep up the good work, my disciple, I will be watching as always."

Valeria's eyes shone slightly with emotion as slowly, her face changed from determined to solemn, and she spoke in a heavy tone. "Yes, Master."

Victor nodded, but as he turned to leave, he heard.

"Master..."

"Hmm?"

"Thank you..." The words of gratitude came from the depths of her Soul. "You not only illuminated my world surrounded by darkness but also brought light back into my life..." Valeria looked at Vanessa with tears in her eyes.

"From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for everything you have done for me and my daughter." She lowered her head in reverence, showing her utmost respect to her God, who had completely changed her life. For Valeria, 'God' meant the man who stood before her, a God who acted, not one who was passive, a God who made the world better.

She sincerely hoped that everyone who was in the Religion of The Blood God felt the same way she did... And if they didn't, she would make them understand. Just as he saved her from her darkest time, she will save these lost lambs.

Feeling a heavy but gentle hand on her shoulder, she looked up and looked into the powerful violet eyes of her God, eyes that were shining with kindness.

"Don't belittle yourself, Valeria." Victor gently lifted Valeria from her position until she stood completely upright. "You deserve everything you have achieved. You have soiled yourself with the hands of sinners. You have fought not only for yourself but for my ideals."

"As the one who has always watched your progress, I know all too well of the countless hours spent without sleep, of the countless nightmares you faced. I was always watching."

"As the God you believe in, how can I not reward this loyalty? How can I not reward your sincere effort?"

Hearing Victor's words, her tears could not be contained. At that moment, Valeria felt the reinforcement of her purpose, the purpose she decided for herself when she found her salvation: she would fight for the goal of her God... Until her last breath.

"Work well. Work sincerely." Victor wiped Valeria's tears and continued: "But also don't forget to sleep, don't forget to live, don't forget to eat, don't forget to relax when necessary, and most importantly..." Victor held Valeria's face with both hands and looked deeply into her eyes.

"Don't forget your daughter." He smiled gently. "Family is the most important thing after all."

"They are the ones who keep us together in the darkest times."

"A display of weakness?"

"I was going to say unexpected, but those words fit too, I think..." Vanessa spoke with a bit of trepidation in her own words.

Valeria looked at her daughter and smiled. "Unlike some Pagan Gods who keep their thoughts hidden or hide in their Divine arrogance as if to say that Mortals are just cattle," she paused, regaining her bearings.

"The Emperor, The God-King of The Blood Dragon Gods, is different. All his followers who cared enough to read the Holy Book know his thoughts and what to expect from The Emperor."

"Despite being feared as The God of Dragons, The God of Fear, The God of Murder, and The Demon King of Hell, Victor Elderblood also represents Martial Honor, Home, Family, Nature, Dreams, and Life... And most importantly, he understands..."

"Understands what...?"

"What it's like to be a weak Mortal."

"..."

"Unlike all the other Gods who were born powerful, he fought for everything he has now. Yes, he had talent, and he was very lucky. But to deny his efforts because of these two points is arrogance. Our God has never rested, he has never stopped training, he has never stopped progressing, because as a former weak Mortal, he understands very well how being 'weak' is a sin in this world."

"That 'understanding' is the important point here, that's what shaped his personality into what it is now."

"Do you remember what he said?"

"Work well. Work sincerely..."

Valeria continued: "But also don't forget to sleep, don't forget to live, don't forget to eat, don't forget to relax when necessary, and most importantly..."

"Don't forget your family." Vanessa finished.

"Despite being one of the most powerful existences, he still watches over us, mere weak Mortals. He still watches us and supports us. Why does he do that?"

"Because he understands what it was like to be weak, and he is giving opportunities to all who fight for it."

"Exactly." Valeria nodded and continued:

"Strength does not come without effort. You must sweat, and shed blood for it."

"By understanding us, by understanding what it's like to be us... He's a God worth following and worshiping... And most importantly... He saved me, and he saved you. That alone is enough. Everything else is a bonus that adds even more weight to everything."

"... We have work to do," Vanessa spoke after a few seconds of silence, her face pure determination.

Valeria smiled. "Yes, we do."
